This dispersed form of zinc oxide permits its direct incorporation into latex compounds. Zinoxide at o.5 to 6.0 phr is used to activate the cure of NR,SBR and NBR latex compounds; zinc oxide acts as a vulcanizing agent in CR and XNBR latex; aminimum of 5 phr zinc oxide is generally used for the compounding of CR latexes.

A very highly disperse activator; excellent for the manufacture of semi transparent rubber goods or goods with reduced zinc oxide content; when added at high levels imparts improved shape retention and provides highly elastic vulcanizates; used as an activator in latex compounds resulting low levels of zinc in latex compounds
